What a difference a day makes.....today was as beautiful as yesterday was nasty!!! We started the day exercising (a new word for these nomads as we have done squat for so long - no weights, no biking - just an occasional long walk.) It is TIME to get back in the groove. And after that, we had delicious breakfast sandwiches at the marina grille. 😊 We left Roland Martin Marina at 9 and had a great day on the water traveling 53.4 miles on the Caloosahatchee. Yesterday and today we went thru 4 locks with 1 remaining for tomorrow.
We arrived at the Franklin Lock around 2:30 (we are on this side of it) and along with only 8 boat slips (just 3 boats here), there is an RV park which is full. We are near Alva, FL
(15 miles from Fort Myers).
(15 miles from Fort Myers).
Got the bikes off the boat (1st time in forever) and rode around the park and up a long road leading into the marina/campground. We kept hearing bagpipes out in the middle of nowhere. Came upon a horse farm with several horses grazing and there was a guy with his bike nearby. He was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and playing the bag pipes to the horses. Mark asked him if they liked it? He said "Well, I think so, but not sure about the big brown one as she's giving me the evil eye"!
Now this was a unique experience!

This 1st ride was short - gotta work up to this! I went for a walk later.....bagpiper was gone but felt good to stretch the legs and hope this is just the start!
Maeve has outgrown her hat, but she doesn't seem to care!
Mommy found a new cute one to keep her warm since she's moving north!
Grandma misses her so much!
We had tacos for supper and so enjoyed the quiet peacefulness of this lovely area.
Tomorrow, a whole different story with the hustle and bustle of the big city for the next month!
FORT MYERS, HERE WE COME!!!
